I bought this collection with over 100 movies for dirt cheap because the guy was moving back to Asia. Dirt cheap was still $1000.... Should have never sold them. Just the Star Wars alone is $400 to $500.I guess not anymore! You can get the set of 3 for $100us now..
The worst thing about laser discs was you had to flip the disc to watch the entire movie and some even had 2 discs.

That and the Beddington Blockbuster were my two I'd visit for renting movies. Spent just as long looking for a movie as I did watching it. I really miss video rental stores, I wish Calgary had one, Edmonton has one left. If you ever are in Edmonton it's worth checking out, they mostly focus on horror movies http://www.thelobbymovies.com/

Recently watched 'The Menu' and 'I Care A Lot'.
I thought both were great. Especially 'The Menu' what a weird, funny, odd escape that was.

We went as a family and for the most part, we liked Quantumania. Probably won't ever watch it again but as a family-oriented sci-fi experience (don't think of it as a superhero movie), it was just fine.

Cocaine Bear is the worst movie ever made. It's so ####ing pitiful and bad and a huge waste of two hours. Pathetic script. Pathetic acting. Pathetic everything. I hated it.

I cant imagine that Cocaine Bear would be a bad movie.
Cannot even fathom that.

I honestly don't know.
One of my staff brings a dog in every day now and I love that thing. He's perfect. Such a special little guy.
Bears are still really scary, but obviously you don't encounter them as often as dogs. I just wish I was allowed to hike with a big gun. Wouldn't have to worry about bears that way.

Without having seen it I would still agree with Sliver. Major releases that try to be intentionally camp and cult are inevitably always pure garbage. You can’t force it has to happen organically. Snakes on a Plane? Pure trash not even enjoyable in an ironic sense. Leaky doodoo butter from beginning to end.

I am trying to figure out what category the new Rob Zombie Munsters movie falls under. It could be either.

The Munsters should be put under T for trash. And this is coming from someone who owns every one of Rob Zombies movies, and genuinely enjoys his Halloween films. If I think it's bad, then y'all know it's bad.

Cocaine bear is fine
The premise is so good that it's impossible to be bad. The most impressive part is how a bear+cocaine doesn't, at any point, get old or stale. Every time they milked it, people were giggling
The humans don't even matter. Every line is throwaway stupidity. And yet it didn't matter. An apex predator high on cocaine massacring people is fun

This has to be one of the most predictable posts ever. If there was ever a person that Cocaine Bear wasn't made for, it's Silver.

Finally got around to watching Creed II it's great! Even though objectively Creed 2 is a better movie than Rocky IV, I still have a soft spot for Rocky IV and all its 80s glory. Basically there are no bad Rocky/Creed movies
